I've scoured the forums and installed multiple varieties of codecs which eliminated the Mp3 error message in K3b, but there is still an OCP error.Ĭurrently, I've been able to successfully see that a DVD contains episodes of a tv show, but VLC will not play anything. For varying reasons, none will burn an audio disc. I don't know if I received a faulty unit, or if I just don't know what I'm doing, but I've tried k3b, brasero, xfburn and simple burn. Here's the link to the product on amazon, which does have a reviewer mention how to get the drive to work in Linux, and I did try their recommended solution (after verifying that someone else recommended the same in a thread here). After reading a thread on external drives working well with Mint, I ended up purchasing the external drive mentioned. I just got a new laptop (old one fan failed.sad), and the new one didn't come with an optical drive.
